wiut itosns.
On long, sereno midsummer days
Of ripening fruit nnd yellowed grain,
How sweetly, by dim woodland ways,
In tangled hedge or loary lane,
Fair wild roso thickets, you unfold
Thoao ralo pink ttaru w Ith henrta of gold I
Your sleek patrician sisters dwell
on lawns where gleurns tho shrub's trim bosk,
In terraced gardens, tended well,
Near pebbled walk and quaint kiosk.
In costliest urns tlulr colors rest ,
They beam on beauty's fragrant breast 1
Hut you In lowly calm abide,
Scarce heeded savo by brceo or beo :
Y'ou know what f plendor, pomp and prldo
Full oft your brilliant sisters see ,
What sorrow, too, nnd bitter fears '
What mad farewells and hopeless tears 1
How some aro kept In old, dear books,
That oneo In bridal wreaths w cro worn l
How soino nro kissed, with Under looks,
And later tossed aside with scorn ;
How some their taintless petals lay

Vlvitl Sketch of his Career ly due who

Exciting Scenes at His Lectures Inner
Life of u (iifteil hut Unbalanced (Jcnius.
Tidings have reached this city from pri
vate sources in England that the well-known
poet and lecturer, Gerald Massey, is sutler-
ing from aberration of mind, and has been
piaceti in a private asylum, lo tlioso who
havo been at nil fan iliar with tho career of
tho gilted and unfortunate poet, this sad I
news win not occasion unmixed surprise, in
bis marriage, ns infelicitous as Iiyron, ho
has been literally chained to a woman who
was at once uu Amuon, a .Medea, and a
Venus. The writer became acquainted with
Mr.Masscy in tho winterof 185 l-Cui in New
caatle-on-Tyne, England. Oerald was then
a young man oi twenty-six, engaged on a
lecturing tour. i'or three nignts no leciureu
ueiore tne i.iicrnrv anu rniiosopnicai do-i
ciety of that tovui, his terms being ten
pounds sterling er night. His success was
immense. Lord Havensworth was the chair-
man of his second lecture, and tho poet was,
for a couple of days his lordship's guest at
Itavenswurth Cnstlc. At every town he
visited on that tour ho was the guest or the
aristocracy, ami though this distinction did
not turn his bead or mako him arrogant,
there was no disguising tho fact that ho
gradually became in tho slightest degree
snobbish. While engaged in lecturing, ho
also was a regular contributor to tho columns
of the Alhcmctim. Consequently his world-
ly circumstances were easy, and he was a
jolly but temperate companion. He talked
much fit' his home, bis baby, his Noivfotind-
land dog, Carlo, and his "beautiful, bcaiiti-
ful wife;" and he u-cd to say Unit the money
io made by his lectures very inadequately
repaid him for tho homo happiness lie was
deprived of during his tour. Ho abhorred
tobacco, and repeatedly said ho could not
understand how a man of culture uud re-
fincmeut could introduce tho "beastly odor
of tobacco smoke into his home."

I took a walk round Arthur's Seat, apd he
commented cntliuslastlcally,as was his wont,
on the physical and picturesque contours of
tho' New Haven ilshcr women returning
homo from Edinburgh. As I left him for tho
night he said, while clasping my hand with
both of his, "My boy,you must get married;
sco bow happy I am I"
Two years elapsed, and I heard little of
Massey. lint when tlio winter came I was
surprised to sco a "poster" in the market
place of South Shields, announcing that
"Oerald Masev, the poet, would deliver
three lectures in tho Central Hall, Chapter
How." I attended tho first lecture. Its sub
ject was "Hood, and Wit and Humor."
I occupied a back seat, yet I could dis
tinctly pcrceivo that the poet's f;mowin moro
haggard and careworn than when I lat saw
him. There was probably a majority of
ladles la tho fashionable, audience, nnd the
txjture proceeded witli that rippling clo
quenco of which Massey was such n master,
His voice alwavs full, musical and mellow
had lost nono of its resonance, and his
hearers were alternately dissolved in tears or
shaking with laughter. Tender glaucei from
bright eyes were thrown upon him, vnd be'
fore he had progressed half an hour it re'
quired no particularly acute observer todis
cover that hall ot th" young ladies in tlio
hall adored him. When he began to recite
tho "Dridge of Sighs," you could havo heard
u pin drop, and as ho with touching pathos
and lingering sadness repeated tho lines :
"Cross her hand humbly,
As If praying dumbly,
Oter her breast 1
Owning her weaVness,
Her evil behavior,
And leaving, Willi iiimUioss,
Her sins to lur Saviour?"
there was not a dry female eye in the
assemblage.
I saw Mrs. Jla'sey gazo round with as
tonishment. She saw that tho little man
was tho idol of tho hour that tears were
flowing from aristocratic cheeks, that beauti
ful young hearts responded to that touch of
nntnro which makes tho whole world kin.
Tho sight was too much for her nature,
With a wild shrill shriek,
SHi: AI'l'AULiNTLY rAINTl.Il AWAY .
Poor Gerald advanced to the edge of the I
platform pale with anger and half unnerved.
Four men hoist tho woman nnu bear nor

be treated with courtesy and attention wear
good clothe. Not gaudy or showy nnc,but
something of a material which looks well,
and which will not. bo ruined by dust, rain

how little you can bo comfortable with.

brushes, towels, needles and thread, scissors,
strings, boot bultona, handkerchiefs, extra
uloves and stockings, and other personal
necessaries, for if your journey extends over
a week you will bo sure to need them before
ynu can get access to your trunk.
Check yout trunk when ynu set forth for
tho place of your destination, nnd having
put the checks where they will bo in no
danger of getting lost, dismiss the trunk from
your mind. There is not the slightest neces
sity of "worrying about it," as most ladies
aro in the habit of doing.
When you buy your ticket, get a railroad

FUNL-IULS in 177G.rFunerals touched
weddings at tho point of feasting, and were
often very expensive, showy and pompous
occasions. In some parts of tho country,
especially among the Dutch of Long Island"
and New York, it was tho custom of ayoung
man to lay by his earnings after becoming
of ago until a sullicient sum had accamulat-
c(t to provide for him a "respectable" fun
crat w-hen ho should come to die. Oftcn-
times the young burgher would reserve ball
0f tho portion of wino which he bad liberal-
ly laid in for his marriage, to be used at the
funeral of himself or his wifo. Special in-
vltations were sent out for funerals as for
parties. Tho clergymen, pallbearers and
physicians attending were provided mih
scarfs and gloves, and sometimes each with
a mourning ring; whilo tho feast which fol
roast meats, wines, liquors and pipes, was
"ot imfreqiiently an occasion or coarse OX'
cesses, sometimes descending into niiarous
and noisy demonstrations. A "respectable"
